Flour-loose collection of words
Yeast-resting, kneading words to allow word power to rise
Oil-a fluid blend for cohesiveness
Salt-for fullness of taste
Those are four Ingredients I see in recipes for homemade bread.
The thought comes that bread in biblical times and on certain Jewish holidays today leaves out the yeast. There's a historical reason for that: yeast requires time to make bread rise. At Passover in Egypt, the people had to leave quickly.
The ingredient I can say the least about now is flour. It is essential, and wheat and rye come to mind.
Consider oil, a tangible element of blessing. I think of canola, sunflower, and olive, for example.
Salt with its dry savor enhances the flavor of the other elements.
I am so excited about baking my first bread and writing in new ways!
